As fall arrives, it’s the perfect time to refresh routines and focus on well-being. The season’s transition encourages healthy habits and provides an opportunity to support both physical and mental health.
Here are 5 wellness tips to improve your physical and mental health this season:
- Enjoy fall’s harvest. Autumn brings an abundance of nutrient-rich, seasonal produce. Enjoy crisp apples, vibrant pumpkins, sweet potatoes, squash, and brussels sprouts, each packed with essential vitamins and fiber. Explore your local farmers market or orchard to find the freshest selections and savor the comfort of roasted or baked fall favorites in your next meal.
- Get outside and soak in the scenery. Take advantage of the crisp fall air, spending 30 minutes outdoors a few times each week can lift your mood and support your well-being.
- Stay active with seasonal movement. As the weather cools, stay active by engaging in activities like raking leaves, hiking, or joining a fall fitness class. Before starting a new routine, consult your health care provider to ensure it’s right for you.
- Embrace cozy hobbies. This fall, embrace relaxing activities like journaling, baking, or reading by candlelight to recharge and spark creativity. Prioritizing moments of joy and rest is vital for mental well-being.
- Prepare for shorter days. Shorter days can impact energy and mood. Maintain a regular sleep routine, spend time outdoors during daylight, use your time intentionally, and stay connected with others. Practicing gratitude can also help boost your well-being.
